Environmentally friendly trivalent chromium is now a proven, economical alternative to hexavalent chromium coatings. It offers high corrosion resistance for CWM Al, Mg, and Zn die castings in a range of applications.
With a bright, cosmetically pleasing finish, this alternative combined conversion-functional coating meets stricter commercial and U.S. and European Union environmental mandates, avoiding the concerns with prohibited products using toxic hexavalent chromates.
Results of tests to ASTM standards demonstrate salt-spray protection for up to 168 hours on Aluminum alloy 380.
